Neither my husband nor son like DARK SHADOWS at all, and Brad, my 19-year-old wild child, will, on occasion, yell out, "BARNABAS!" for no reason at all. I assume he's trying to piss me off, but it just makes me laugh.
Since I hit my forties, I don't really give a crap what people think of my likes and dislikes, so I freely admit my passion for our show. I didn't always; I was too self-conscious. If people look askance at me, they can go to hell.
It's great being a grown-up!
Love, Robin
PS - Mark, I really enjoyed your little stripper club story, and as for the photo that followed--sick, wonderful, sick!
